Is anyone planning to get this booster? My last booster was 9/15/2021 and I have not had Covid. I will be 70 in December. I am somewhat ambivalent this time because my fibro has gotten worse since my last booster. Would like to hear your thoughts on this..thank you..

Members shared mixed experiences when deciding whether to get the new bivalent COVID booster, with some expressing concern that previous boosters may have worsened their fibromyalgia symptoms while others reported no problems at all. Several members offered practical advice, including consulting with a doctor before deciding, spacing the COVID booster and flu shot a few weeks apart to avoid overwhelming the system, and weighing personal risk tolerance based on past vaccine reactions. A recurring theme was the deeply personal nature of the decision, with members respecting each other's choices while sharing their own experiences to help others make informed decisions.

I chose not to get it Because I feel like the last booster made me feel worse with my fibromyalgia. So, I’ll take that chance. I did get the flu shot, though. Also, sent my doc a message and asked if it’s ok if I get the pneumonia shot since I have a weakened immune system. Take care, have a blessed day🤗
